Cathodoluminescence and its Application in the Planetary Sciences
Springer 2008; US$ 109.99Cathodoluminescence microscopy/spectroscopy is a powerful technique providing detailed information on the shock metamorphism of target rocks, biosignatures of meteorites and mineralogy of the pre-solar grains. Moreover, it can be used as an in-situ method to classify the solid-atmospheric-liquid interactions on the surface of Mars. more...
A Comparison of the Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems
Springer 2006; US$ 99.99Covers a range of subjects, covering the developments in Celestial Mechanics from the theoretical point of nonlinear dynamical systems to the application to real problems. This volume is useful for astronomers and mathematicians interested in Hamiltonian mechanics and in the dynamics of planetary systems. more...
Dust in the Solar System and Other Planetary Systems
Elsevier Science 2002; US$ 230.00Since the last joint IAU and COSPAR Colloquium in Gainesville in 1995, there have been dramatic changes in the field resulting from in-situ space experiments, Earth orbiting satellites and ground based observations. The brightest comet since the early years of the twentieth century, comet Hale-Bopp, appeared, giving an invaluable opportunity to see... more...
Exploration of the Solar System by Infrared Remote Sensing
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 196.00This book describes all aspects of the theory, instrumental techniques and observational results of the remote sensing of objects in our Solar System through studies of infrared radiation. Fully revised since publication of the first edition in 1992, it now incorporates the latest technologies, new mission results and scientific discoveries. more...
Geology and Habitability of Terrestrial Planets
Springer 2007; US$ 159.99Discusses the multi-faceted problem of how the habitability of a planet co-evolves with the geology of the surface and interior, the atmosphere, and the magnetosphere. This book delves into what life needs to exist and ultimately to thrive, the early environments of the young terrestrial planets, and the role of volatiles in habitability. more...
Highlights in Helioclimatology
Elsevier Science 2012; US$ 150.00Written by pioneers in the field, Highlights in Helioclimatology examines the scientific evidence related to the influence of solar activity on climate and the resulting atmospheric process that creates hurricanes. In addition to providing the science behind the phenomenon, this book also provides tools for aiding in hurricane prediction, specifically... more...
Interiors of the Planets
Cambridge University Press 1980; US$ 58.00In this book Alan Cook explains how the mechanical properties of the planets are determined. more...
International geophysics series
Elsevier Science 1978; US$ 79.95For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look... more...
My Planets
IP (Interactive Publications) 2011; US$ 14.99My Planets is in fact a suite of works about adoption and redefinition of identity after the reunification of a biological family ? a physical book; an enhanced eBook incorporating images, music, sound and video with spoken word and text, a film. Like most of David P Reiter's work, it challenges the boundaries, changing shape with the message, inviting... more...
On the Origin of Planets
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 117.00The book begins with a historical review of four major theories for the origin of the Solar System in particular, or of planets in general, which highlight the major problems that need to be solved by any plausible theory. In many theories, including that which form the major theme of this book, the formation of planets and stars is intimately linked,... more...
